A4 Brake Help (Reply to Hoppen motorsport)

[JShadzi at aol.com]

John, I have been on the other end of your email many times having worked in the "industry".  

Frankly, you are being very harsh, I respect JHM for honering the distribution areas set out by MTM.  Maybe you don't like it, but what they replied to you is correct.
